In this revision of a foundational work, John Piper reveals how grace is not only God’s undeserved gift to us in the past, but also God’s power to make good happen for us today, tomorrow, and forever. True life for the follower of Jesus really is a moment-by-moment trust that God is dependable and fulfills his promises. This is living by faith in future grace, which provides God's mercy, provision, and wisdom - everything we need - to accomplish his good plans for us. In Future Grace, chapter by chapter - one for each day of the month - Piper reveals how cherishing the promises of God helps break the power of persistent sin issues.

In doing so, he highlights the Bible's unique ability to reveal God to humanity in a way that informs our minds, transforms our hearts, and ignites our love.

Good. Not great

Apparently this is a section of a bigger book. I consider myself well educated, but some of the content in this requires re-listening as sometimes there's a lot to take in and digest as far historical quotes go. The authors use of biblical scriptures really on point but I can't say that on it's own this book changed me in any way. Nonetheless, it was the hour or so to listen to as there are some really good tidbits of information in here.
